Senior Connections

Senior Connections offers programs for the mind and body, all while enjoying time with friends!

Who We Are

Established in 2019, Senior Connections is a membership-based group that works to enhance wellness and provide social opportunities for the 55+ population in New Albany and surrounding areas by providing a variety of programs, activities, and opportunities that focus on social, physical, and mental well-being.

Our 200+ members engage with us most days of the week playing cards, dominoes and mahjong, or attending Book Club, Men’s Club, and Thursday Connections. Members also get together at special events like monthly SC at Night programs and Sunday Brunch and Bingo. For a complete list of activities, check out the Senior Connections programs on the Healthy New Albany programs page.

"It was life-saving for me. It really brought me out of the doldrums and gave me something to look forward to. You're going to meet great people. It's a safe place. It's a happy place. There's a lot of joy all the time."
